Lore

Amon Amrûn was once a temple of worship to Eru Illuvatar. When the Witch-king of Angmar overran the North Downs, the Oathbreakers threw open the doors of the Temple and sacrificed themselves upon the altars in worship to Melkor. The roof of the temple was then torn off by the Witch-king and only the foundations of the temple remain.
